So, heres my whopping Christmas gift list, or a few gift ideas for the ladies in your life - The (mainly) beauty edition! With a little help from recent Black Friday offerings, I've managed to bulk up my list to the extreme, whoops. A few things I've actually managed to get my mitts on anyway, such as the Oral B toothbrush, which is still expensive at less than half price, but I've been telling myself for years I'll invest in a top-of-the-range toothbrush one day. Done! Oh, and the Modern Renaissance palette - Finally! Dying for the Mac Nutcracker specials, which seem to be forever out of stock online, and mostly tempted by the Zoeva brush and Tarte/Charlotte Tilbury palettes. Seriously, how many palettes are too many?

From August 2012 onwards, '*' denotes a product gifted to me or a PR sample. Please be reassured that I will not forfeit my integrity for any reason. I only agree to be sent items reflective of myself and my personality, and that all opinions shared here are my honest thoughtswhether it be good, not so good, or somewhere inbetween.

I have previously marked free items with 'c/o' and then mentioned in the post, but appreciate this can be repetetive or sometimes missed. Using an asterisk will hopefully be upfront and easier to identify.
